Burnaby Mountain DEU Overview
• The BMDEU is a regulated District Energy Utility (DEU) that currently provides energy for space heating and hot water to UniverCity.
• The Biomass Expansion Project provides:– Cost-effective, low carbon thermal energy to the SFU campus and UniverCity– An estimated 80% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions at SFU when
compared to fossil fuel and electricity use– 1.5 km expansion to existing network along Tower Rd and South Campus Rd– 23.5 MW Central Energy Plant (13.5 MW biomass + 10 MW Natural Gas)
Burnaby Mountain DEU Development
We are Here• 2 interim central energy plants
using NG (2.3 MW + 6.0 MW)• 1.8 km of piping installed• 10 buildings connected
Burnaby Mountain DEU• Biomass based central
energy plant - 13.5 MW• 10 MW natural gas peaking
and back-up for UniverCity• 22 buildings and SFU
Campus connected• Over 5 km of piping installed
